Teledildonics: What is It & the Future of Sex Toys

What is Teledildonics?

Teledildonics is a term with broad meaning, and in its simplest definition, it refers to high-tech sex toys that are operated remotely. These use the Internet to transfer tactile sensations between the participants; in other words, teledildonics are sex toys that are operated via an app and Bluetooth connectivity. There are various app-controlled vibrators oriented towards female users and interactive toys for the guys.

The term derives from a sci-fi book, where it referred to virtual sexual activity, but it has evolved to mean so much more. It was initially used concerning using robotic sex toys or computer-controlled sex toys. We have to mention that teledildonics is used interchangeably with cyberdildonics, and both terms are better suited to describe app-controlled sex toys.

Today, we have seen a surge of advanced sex toys that use high-tech features and allow a more immersive sexual experience. It brings exciting advances in the sex toy industry; what began as sending and receiving vibrations through a gaming console has now evolved into a way of connecting people in real time in an intimate way.

Why Use Teledildonics?

Often, people try long-distance relationships, but they ultimately fail because of the lack of intimacy and scheduled meets via phone or video. It creates a gap because the efforts usually clash with everyday tasks, and couples tend to drift apart and look for close contact elsewhere, as Whatsapp, Skype, and Facetime don’t cut it anymore.

Cue teledildonics. Teledildonic devices provide a way to bridge the gap between long-distance couples, and these give a new, exciting, fun way to keep a relationship alive. Several prominent adult toy companies like Lovense, Lelo, Satisfyer, OhMiBod, We-Vibe, and Kiiroo, with an excellent range of toys optimized for various uses, are at the forefront of teledildonic devices.

Most of these toys are optimized for synchronized intimacy and shared playtime, as some sync to a mobile app that allows remote control via a smartphone. Other toys also have a built-in feature that, on top of using these alone, allows synchronizing the two toys, allowing them to respond to the other toy’s actions. One example is the option for synchronization between a masturbation sleeve and a G-spot vibe, allowing the two partners to simultaneously enjoy sensations without fuss.

Teledildonics in Porn

In the interest of covering all the bases, we have to mention that teledildonic devices have found their place in porn. While not all new porn productions are focused on toys, nor are they interactive, there is a category of interactive porn content. There are adult stars with whom you can interact directly and, using teledildonics, be in control of the stimulation and their pleasure.

An example is the option to partake in the show, provided you have a compatible interactive device: you can control the speed and depth of the stimulation of the teledildonic device used by the entertainer while simultaneously enjoying your pleasure.

How to Choose a Teledildonic Toy?

If you are a beginner in shopping for sex toys, you are in luck, as here we’ll outline all the important features to know when you are choosing a teledildonic toy. Our experts shared the basics, and we’ve compiled these into a list that you can use as a checklist when browsing sex toy options:

• Design – when we discuss the design of the teledildonic toys, we need to outline that there are five different categories of such toys, and you can select one or more that fit your fancy, like:
  • Masturbator sleeves – known as strokers, the masturbation sleeves are for guys, as they wrap around the penis and stimulate a blow job or masturbation. The teledildonic masturbation sleeves are app-controlled, feature different vibrations and suction modes, and some even have a c-ring that can contract for extra stimulation.
  • Rabbit vibrators – the rabbit vibrator has an internal and external stimulating arm, and the ladies can use it for dual stimulation. The teledildonic rabbit vibes go a step further and allow you to use your rabbit vibe but have your partner control the action remotely or sync it with another device and use it simultaneously.
  • Wearable vibrators – from the many wearable vibrators, the remote-control and teledildonic vibrators are insertable into the vagina or can be attached to the underwear. The advanced models allow smartphone app control, letting your long-distance partner initiate the vibrations.
  • Butt plugs – besides the manual and remote-controlled butt plugs, there are teledildonic butt plugs that you can wear and have your partner control the vibrations in the rectum and the perineum.
• Material – the next thing you need to look at is the materials of the teledildonic device. The toys for women are usually made from silicone, while the male toys can be made from silicone or TPE.
• Connectivity – when it comes to connectivity, the teledildonic toys today all feature Bluetooth connectivity and app synchronization, letting you control them over the Internet. Please make sure the interactive teledildonic device you get is compatible with your smartphone, and read the instructions to see how to connect it to the app and use the sync feature. Also, engage the do-not-disturb option on your smartphone to avoid distractions when you use your teledildonic sex toy.
• Safety – when we talk about safety, we must say that all sex toys are safe if you use them correctly. That said, you need to be careful when inserting toys that are too big for you, and always use compatible lube. Also, make sure you wash and maintain your sex toys as indicated by the manufacturer, as if done inappropriately, you can severely damage the toy and even cause physical harm.
